{The Key to Self Acceptance} - in this final Five Element video within this current mini-series, I explain why this ancient Chinese Medicine theory, and personality type framework, REALLY is the KEY part, the key Element (if you’ll pardon the pun!), to self acceptance and deep understanding of self… . . It is the reason my chapter in the book our co-authored book, “The Pay it Forward Series: Notes to my Younger Self – Volume 1”, has this title! (if you haven't seen it yet, c...heck it out on Amazon here - http://goo.gl/yavVZM) . . Knowing your Element is the key that helps unlock a deeper compassion and understanding and gentleness for yourself, so that you can embrace ALL of you… deepening the connection you have with ALL parts of you, embracing who you REALLY are – and doesn’t that sound like something we ALL could do with in our lives?! . . The latest round of "Embrace Your Element - 9 weeks to Life Changing Self Acceptance" starts NEXT MONDAY (3rd Sept) - see the details + sign up here - http://goo.gl/zAsghB . . You can read the words of this video instead (if you can't watch with audio right now), over on my blog here - http://goo.gl/xcWWgQ . .

{Full Moon Chai} - a slow, gentle morning today with a soothing chai + quietness, still sitting with + processing all the big emotions + shifts of this full moon... . . It's been another big one, at the end of this eclipse season + things are supposed to be getting clearer from here... Though I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling the clarity just yet... And so we sit + wait + be super gentle... .... . And just the other day I was talking to a friend about us shifting into Late Summer, the fifth season in Chinese Medicine, associated with the Earth Element... It is in itself a transition season, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised that things still aren't quite clear... We are still transitioning... . . And it's this Element that relishes gentleness, self care, healing emotions, being held lovingly, nurturing ourselves, giving ourselves what we need... So yes, this is what we do now, today... And I will be doing exactly that... . . And if you want to learn more about the Earth Element's season of Late Summer, you can come to the Saturday 8th September workshop or preorder the online course now - links: http://goo.gl/yiv4Rw . . #acupuncture #fiveelements #fiveelementwellnesswoman #fiveelementlife #transition #earthelement #fullmoon #chai #wellness #wellbeing #health #healthy #yinyoga #yoga #coaching #seasons #empoweringwomen #seasonalhealth #holistic #holistichealth #ancientwisdom #naturalhealth #healthylifestyle

{The Element Brain + How it Might be Running the Show} - wouldn’t it be helpful to FINALLY understand WHY you might experience the world in the way you do, WHY it might be different, or feel different, to those other people around you in your life? . . Well the WHY comes from the fact that each of the individual Elements view the world through their own tinted glasses, and through each Element lens, the world looks slightly different… .... . How we perceive things, and how we view our own stuff, is coloured by that, and it affects how we TRANSLATE or interpret things, creating what I like to call our Element Brain… . . Even more interestingly our Element Brain will collect “evidence” to support what it believes or perceives (through it’s tinted glasses) is true… . . Learn more about this + how to re-wire your Element brain to be super positive, in my 9 week coaching course, "Embrace Your Element" - the early bird rate ends TONIGHT! . .

{You Don't Need Fixing: Healing Pain, Blocks, Stories + Triggers} - I say this a LOT in clinic, but over the years I've also said it in these social media spaces, in videos, in my courses, at my workshops, in my co-authored book... And I will continue to say it, because it's true + so many people need to HEAR it... . . It is part of my reason for being on this planet, to help you to truly KNOW that you do not need "fixing"... Even if you have felt like you do, or others have ...made you feel that way... . . You are not broken, you do not need to be fixed. Many of us have spent so many years, trying to “fix” ourselves, to make ourselves “better”, with all sorts of therapies, seeing all sorts of practitioners… Myself included... . . But what I learnt when Five Element acupuncture came into my life, is that you don’t need “fixing”, you just need to have permission to be yourself, you just need to BE – without resistance to your natural ways of being in the world… . . The things that cause us pain come from our Element, the blocks we have in our lives often have their root within our Element and its innate challenges… And this is where knowing your Element + working WITH it comes in... . . Yes, sometimes we need to make adjustments to get back into alignment with our true nature + our true energetic make up, but THIS is the space in which we can TRULY heal our pain, our blocks, our stories + the stuff that triggers us... . . Read the transcript for this video here - http://goo.gl/M91zYQ . . And if you'd like to have permission to be your true self + heal all the old wounds, then my online coaching course, "Embrace Your Element - 9 Weeks to Life Changing Self Acceptance" starts again on 3rd September, with the earlybird pricing ending 19th August.

{New Moon, Solar Eclipse} - the last few days I have been tired, exhausted tired, falling asleep at the drop of a hat tired... . . I've been putting it down to the waning moon energies, plus all the processing, growing + shifting we have been doing during this eclipse season, + just resting when my body tells me that's what I need... .... . And today, with the New Moon, Solar Eclipse in Leo I had a quiet morning, sat in my pyjamas, at the exact time of the eclipse here in the UK, writing out everything my heart truly desires - because this is what the Leo moon is all about - all the big magical dreams, all the positive, beautiful things I want to call in to my life now... . . I am a Scorpio, with Scorpio rising, but as my natal chart has my moon in Leo, I resonate massively with this new moon + it influences my emotions deeply (yes, there have been tears today too)... . . I'm also aware that this interplay between the Fire + Water Elements in my astrology chart does in fact match the interplay in my Chinese Medicine Elemental make up - BUT if you saw my video last week, you will know that this ISN'T always the case! . . Watch to see why the Chinese Five Elements are actually DIFFERENT to those Elements used in astrology + yoga, here - http://goo.gl/J2Jrrb . . The astrology gurus say that this third eclipse is the one that will bring new energy in, allow us to get more clarity on where it is we are going next, what the changes this eclipse season has brought us actually mean for us going forward... . . This is good news, as I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to my next steps revealing themselves + seeing what is to come, as so much has changed these last few eclipse-filled months, including me leaving my Thame acupuncture clinic after nearly ten years of practising there... As I say, big, big changes! . . But don't be surprised if you still feel a bit restless + can't see forward JUST yet, it's still all filtering in... The video I made for this eclipse season might also help you understand some of these energies from a Chinese Medicine perspective - http://goo.gl/L6gohH . . So how are you marking this new moon eclipse? 🌙✨ . . #acupuncture #wellness #wellbeing #chinesemedicine #fiveelements #fiveelementwellnesswoman #fiveelementlife #yoga #yinyoga #coaching #meditation #manifestation #ritual #holistic #holistichealth #newmoon #eclipse #astrology #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #empowerment #magic #moonlight

{VIDEO 2 - Why Should I Care What Element I am + How Will it Benefit me?} - understanding who you are from the space of your Element, why you behave in certain ways or feel certain things, gives you permission to be your true self... . .

{The Don't Know Space} - you know that thing when you go somewhere + all of the quotes, readings, teachings or asanas seem to be made just for you, speaking directly to your soul, giving you exactly what you need at the right time?... . . Well that was me, at Kanti Freeman's Divine Harmony yin yoga afternoon yesterday... .... . Long-hold poses to gently move the (previously) stagnant Qi in the Liver + Gall Bladder meridians (channels), helpfully working with the Wood Element + it's frustrated eclipse-related restlessness, plus accompanying Buddhist wisdom about "not knowing" - all themes I had discussed in my vlog this week... . . "We don't always trust it because it can be difficult + uncomfortable to walk the way of not knowing... (Yet) 'don't know' is very good for cutting through doubt... . . When the mind is constantly trying to solve problems that it can't solve properly, we can find ourselves in a very small world, a world that is tight, predictable. It is very important to be with the open mind, the 'don't know' mind. . . When we say 'don't know', nothing has changed externally, but internally we have suddenly stopped sticking to the idea that we SHOULD know, that we MUST know... And we've also stopped our loyalty to the opposite idea, the despair of worrying that we will never know... So we just sit quietly on our (meditation) cushions + just notice..." - Ajahn Sundara . . So, as the beautiful Kanti asked us yesterday, can you be ok with just sitting in the not knowing? . . In full transparency, my Water Element + it's love of safety, certainty + control, really makes TRUSTING the unknown, staying in the 'don't know' space, a real challenge for me... It's scary + unfamiliar... I'm learning + growing in this eclipse season, the moon isn't giving me any other choice! 🌕💫🌙 . . P.S. my parents bought me back this sweet little Buddha from their trip to Vietnam + Cambodia earlier this year... My sisters got biscuits, I got a Buddha, obvs... 🙏✨ . .
